Indiana becomes latest state to cut gas tax during Iran war

Braun’s move mirrors a similar effort down south, as the Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) signed a state House bill last month that implemented a 60-day halt on the state’s gas tax.

“I am declaring a gas tax holiday to give Hoosiers relief from the pain at the pump from high gas prices,” Braun announced. “Affordability is my top priority.”
